Save for a spinning heel kick that landed in the third round that left Kevin Lee on wobbly legs, Edson Barboza was on the receiving end of an almost five-round beating at UFC Atlantic City. The fight ended at the 2:18 mark of round five when the ringside doctors decide to step in and stop the action after Barboza sustained a huge cut above his right eye.
As early as the first two rounds, “The Motown Phenom” was already imposing his will, taking the fight to the mat and pounding away from up top.
